Jamal stifled a scream. If he was going to die, he wasn't going to die a coward. Arthur's eyes flashed in the dark and his lips were pressed to the criminals neck in an instant. He could faintly feel the smile against his throat. There was a peculiar tingling, like someone jabbing him with a weedy stick. Then the prodding came harder, then it started to sting, then burn. Jamal's face had paled drastically and he was losing the feeling in his fingertips. Suddenly, he began to fall. It was like everything was in slow motion. He opened his eyes a slit despite the blurriness in his vision. He felt of his blood draining from his veins and into the stomach of the monster.
Arthur bit down harder on his victims throat and, without thinking, Jamal opened his mouth to let out a shriek. Nothing but air. He couldn't even let a thought pass through his head let alone a scream. Then everything stopped as if someone stepped in for Father Time and stopped all of his precious clocks from ticking. Everything stood still. No more blood dripped, no more stray cars passed, no more owls hooted from the forest a little ways over. All was silent and motionless. Arthur pulled his mouth away from Jamal's neck, a trickle of crimson running down his chin. His green eyes were large in disarray and he dropped the dying man. Jamal fell to the ground like a rock. He looked ahead of him with glazed over eyes to see a glimpse of a small boy, blue eyes wide, before falling into eternity.
Sorry this one is SO SHORT. Honestly, we tried to tie this with the first chapter but something weird happened and it won't let us :/ The next chapters will be longer we promise!
